Dual Cultivation: A Carefree Journey Through Another World, the Empress Falls into My Hands

A moment later, Chu Yunfan and Tian Ruoqin suddenly disappeared from the plaza in front of the Tower of Time.

At this moment, Chu Yunfan had already made a decision.

"The Gathering of the Prodigies is a grand event that we must attend!"

Those prodigies are all formidable opponents.

Only through battle can I grow better and faster.

As for what role I will play, we'll discuss that later.

Anyway, the Grand Gathering of Prodigies doesn't start for another month!

One month—this was the information Chu Yunfan had overheard people discussing it in the square.

In fact, the Grand Gathering of Prodigies did officially begin a month later.

However, although there is still a month to go, many participating teams from various factions have already arrived in Zhonghuang City ahead of schedule.

This included the demon race's forces.

Interestingly, Chu Yunfan discovered a familiar figure among the demon race's ranks.

"Is it them?"

Chu Yunfan, holding Tian Ruoqin's small hand, suddenly stopped in place, his eyes fixed on a certain spot.

Because all the inns were fully booked, Chu Yunfan decided to take Tian Ruoqin to stay at the Zhou family's place.

However, upon arriving near the Zhou family's residence, Chu Yunfan noticed that there were quite a few demons active on the streets, so he slowed down and observed them.

But life is full of coincidences, and a chance encounter led Chu Yunfan to see a familiar figure.

Therefore, Chu Yunfan stopped and observed carefully.

Tian Ruoqin, who was standing next to Chu Yunfan, immediately asked after hearing Chu Yunfan's slightly puzzled tone:

"Husband, what do you mean by 'them'?"

"Do you know this group of demons?"

Upon hearing Tian Ruoqin's question, Chu Yunfan nodded and replied:

"Among that group of demons, I saw the five demon geniuses who were in the lead twice before in the underground demon cave."

"Demon race, underground demon cave?"

Tian Ruoqin looked slightly puzzled.

Then, she looked like she suddenly understood.

"The demon race appeared in the underground demon cave."

"My lord, you must have encountered them during the last hunt, right?"

"Ok!"

Chu Yunfan nodded, then took Tian Ruoqin's small hand and walked into the Zhou family mansion.

"Let's go. It's just a brief encounter, and I'm not familiar with them."

As the voice faded, Chu Yunfan and Tian Ruoqin disappeared from the Zhou family's gate.

However, as he left, a hint of doubt suddenly appeared in Chu Yunfan's eyes.

Among those demon geniuses, Chu Yunfan sensed a familiar aura emanating from one of the pale-faced young men.

However, for the moment, Chu Yunfan couldn't recall what this aura was.

Having just emerged from the Tower of Time, he was eager to understand the Zhou family's situation in order to determine his next course of action. He had no time to deal with other trivial matters, so he had to put them aside for the time being.

A moment later, in the Zhou family's courtyard, which originally belonged to Zhou Xinghe and Zhou Xingyu.

Chu Yunfan and Tian Ruoqin appeared here.

Then, Zhou Weilong appeared in the courtyard.

"How's the matter I asked you to handle going?"

As soon as Zhou Weilong appeared, Chu Yunfan's voice came from the courtyard asking questions.

"Reporting to Master, I have put away all your clothes as instructed, hiding them in corners where no one will come out."

Moreover, some of the Star Guardians have already located your clothing!

Zhou Weilong answered respectfully.

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfan nodded, a slight smile slowly spreading across his lips.

"Great, the fish has taken the bait!"

Seeing Chu Yunfan's reaction, Zhou Weilong was clearly puzzled. After hesitating for a moment, he still chose to speak.

"Master, there is something I don't understand."

Your clothes cannot be delayed for too long.

On the contrary, with those clothes, the other star guards can more accurately use their star-gazing and divination skills to track your movements.

When you heard that the clothes had been found by the other Star Guardians, why weren't you worried? Instead, you seemed rather happy.

Zhou Weilong said these words not because he cared about Chu Yunfan that much.

Instead, he is now under Chu Yunfan's control, and they are in a situation where their fates are intertwined—one for the other, and the other for the others.

If Chu Yunfan is found and captured by the other Star Guards, Zhou Weilong will not have a good ending either.

However, Zhou Weilong's worries were clearly unnecessary.

Chu Yunfan burst out laughing after hearing his question.

"I am also proficient in the art of astronomical prediction."

Do you think I didn't consider this before I took out those clothes?

You see, those clothes aren't as simple as they seem!

It was said to be complicated, but Chu Yunfan didn't bother to explain it in detail to Zhou Weilong. Instead, he gave the order:

"As a fellow Star Guardian, you should know very well where Elder Zhou Bu Huo of the Star Guard resides within the Zhou family."

Now, take me to his place; I have business to attend to!"

"Yes, Master!"

Please follow me!

Seeing Chu Yunfan's serious expression, Zhou Weilong reacted quickly and immediately began to lead the way.

Subsequently, Chu Yunfan and Tian Ruoqin, led by Zhou Weilong, arrived at the mysterious planet above the Zhou family.

Zhou Bu Huo's residence is located on this planet.

With Zhou Weilong's identity as a Star Guardian, and with him leading the way, the group successfully entered the planet's interior space and then arrived at a somewhat secluded courtyard.

"Elder Zhou Bu Huo prefers tranquility and studies the art of star observation and divination. Therefore, although he is a powerful Martial Saint, he lives relatively close to the edge of the world."

Elder Zhou Bu Huo's household was quite simple, with only one wife named Jie Linghua.

In addition, there were several concubines.

The rest were guards and maids.

As Zhou Weilong led the way, he explained the situation of Zhou Bu Huo's family to Chu Yunfan.

After listening, Chu Yunfan asked:

"Aren't Zhou Bu Huo's children at home?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Weilong quickly replied:

"Elder Zhou Bu Huo was obsessed with cultivation when he was young, and it was not until he reached the peak of the Martial Emperor realm that he began to take wives and concubines."

But as you know, Master, the higher a cultivator's cultivation level, the lower their chances of having offspring.

Therefore, Elder Zhou Buhuo had no descendants.

Upon hearing this answer, Chu Yunfan nodded thoughtfully.

At that moment, Chu Yunfan and his two companions arrived at Zhou Buhuo's doorstep.

Then, while Zhou Weilong was talking to the two guards at the door, Chu Yunfan used his soul control technique to subdue the two guards.

Then, Chu Yunfan disguised himself as Zhou Buhuo and swaggered into Zhou Buhuo's home.

Soon, Chu Yunfan successfully met Zhou Bu Huo's legal wife, Jie Linghua.

Jie Linghua's cultivation level is only at the early stage of the Martial Emperor realm.

Although Chu Yunfan's cultivation level was only at the peak of the Martial King realm, the strength of his soul body was equivalent to that of the peak of the Martial Emperor realm.

Therefore, facing Chu Yunfan's soul control technique, Jie Linghua had no chance to resist and was quickly controlled by Chu Yunfan.

Subsequently, Chu Yunfan used soul control techniques to subdue Zhou Bu Huo's other concubines.

Then, Chu Yunfan disguised himself as one of the concubines and waited for Zhou Buhuo to return.

"I've been searching for a month, and now I have my few pieces of clothing to help with the art of stargazing and divination."

With your abilities, Zhou Buhuo, you should be able to quickly deduce that I'm in your house!

Chu Yunfan looked towards the doorway, a subtle smile playing on his lips.
